The Farmers Almanac Predicts Winter 2020 In Maine Will Have Frigid Temps And Above Average Amounts Of Snow

Mainers are no stranger to frighteningly dramatic winter weather. After all, we do have the some of the coldest temps to be recorded in New England. Most winters here bring snow, rain, ice and chilly temps and some of us have come to appreciate that. It means lots of fun outdoor winter activities. But despite knowing what to expect, we always enjoy waiting for the Farmers’ Almanac to release their forecast and this year, it’s a doozy. Get ready for a wild ride!

As Mainers, we're used to winters that feel cold. Warm days are a bit of a treat here during the winter. But this year's winter season is expected to bring it all. Known as the "polar coaster" winter, this season might be like nothing we've ever seen.

While this might sound daunting, remember that these are only predictions. And, as Mainers know, even snowy days can be beautiful. So, sit back and get ready for what actually might feel like a typical (albeit snowy!) Maine winter!

This unpredictable winter weather will make you want to appreciate the days when temperatures are warmer. On one of those, consider getting outside taking this beginner-friendly hike to a waterfall in Maine.
